A - Pours a deep amber, forming a 1 inch off-white head. Light spots of lace cling to the glass.

S - Strong malty aroma. Not much else is detectible.

T - Strong malt presence, and not much else. This beer seems to be very lacking in flavor.

M - Medium bodied. Good carbonation and smooth finish.

D - As Shiner Bock was my first beer to ever drink, I have a fondness for the brewery. With that said, I have to say this is thee worst beer I have ever had from Shiner. This beer just reminds me of the taste you wake up with in the morning, after a long night of drinking cheap beer. Sorry. Not recommended.

A - Clear brown. A finger of off white head rises and falls in soda pop fashion, leaving no lace.

S - Metallic smelling with a strange sour roastiness. Alcohol comes through as well. Unappetizing and quite far from a doppelbock.

T - A bit better than the nose leads me to believe but it's still sort of awful. Slight caramel sweetness with thin, charcoal, roasty undertones. Roastiness leads to aspirin-like bitterness with a hit of alcohol. Very strange.

M - Thin and prickly. Somewhere on the light side of medium bodied with huge carbonation. Nothing creamy, syrupy, or robust about this brew. Terrible.

D - Shiner 100 just plain tastes bad. There is NOTHING redeeming about this beer, doppelbock or otherwise. Worst Shiner brew I've had; I regret buying the six pack.

Dark transparent brown with a light head that fades into lace.Although this was a really pretty-looking beer, it did not entice me at all with the scent and even less with the taste. It tasted like straight up molasses that had been fermented at too high a temperature with a very estery yeast that left behind something that tasted like soy sauce. On top of that, the really oily sensation I had while drinking it made me want less as I went along.

Overall, this was disappointing; I have always enjoyed Shiner's products, but lately they have gone downhill. Celebrating 100 years of great beer with a bad beer? I just don't understand...

A - Pours a clear dark orange/brown color. Offwhite head settles at a ring around the edge of the glass. Little to no lacing.

S - Burnt sugar caramel malty nose, kind of grassy and earthy.

T - Starts out with a cloying sugary sweetness, with a bitter baking soda like taste. Faint caramel malt flavor comes in and out. A sharp dandelion flavored oily bitterness hits, then dulls into the metallic finish.

Looks nice after pour. Clear amber with an offwhite soft head. Malty sweetness in the aroma, not a lot in the nose. Ok flavor, aftertaste is pour Shiner. Sweet maltiness, which I guess is what a dopplebock is going for but this comes nowhere near Celebrator. The aftertaste is killing me, metalic. A bit thin for what I would expect from a d.bock, but smooth. Easy enough to drink, I just would not really want another one. Maybe another day. Better than their regular "bock", but not memorable.

I'm excited about this one. I like doppelbocks but, as I type this, I notice the classification as "euro dark lager". Hmmm...I hope Shiner didn't dumb this one down. Let's find out. It is a clear dark copper with a foamy light tan head. Definitly lighter than I expected. The smell is right, though. Malt, a touch of charcoal, a sharp tang of hops. The taste is dark roast but finishes metallic. It is surpisingly dry with a slight chalkiness. The mouthfeel is all wrong. Way too thin. Decent carbonation but no real body to it. The drinkability is decent. I really wanted to like this one, but it is not as good as their black lager. I say this despite a strong preference for the style. Oh well...there's always 101.

Dark copper/amber in color with some ruby highlights when held up to the light. Nice cap of khaki foam rises to 1/2" in height then falls and holds at 1/4". Wet drippy lacing.Caramel and metallic aromas. Not bad smelling but not very pleasing either.The flavor starts off well. With heavy caramel flavors and bread dough. Very sweet. Par for the style. The finish kills it for me though. Sharp metallic finish that leaves a lasting metallic aftertaste. Almost copper tasting like putting a penny into your mouth.Mouthfeel isn't bad but a bit light for the style.I tried to cut the metallic aftertaste with a thick slice of sharp chedder but still had a hard time finishing the bottle.I prefer the regular Shiner Bock to this. The Shiner Bock is great golf beer.

Shiner 100 Commemorator pours to a dark copper color with a nice head of foam that has a creamy consistency and makes for a promising first impression. The foam leaves almost no lacing, which was a surprise, but it does last a good amount of time. The nose on this beer is a little prune- like, with notes of toffee and raisin.

This beer offers a taste that combines caramel malt, nuts, and lightly roasted malt. There is some fruity character, with tastes such as cherry trying to make their presence known. The beer finishes a little bit metallic and also tart, with an almost wine like sensation at the end.

Shiner 100 Commemorator leans toward the watery side, and this fact is probably its greatest fault because it ruins what could have been a much stronger and more enjoyable experience. The finish is also a little weird and a little too much like wine. So, when all of the qualities have been evaluated, Shiner 100 Commemorator winds up as a very average beer- typical of most of the products offered by Shiner and not what I would expect from a beer that was supposedly brewed as a celebratory brew.

Looked pretty good when I first poured it - nice colour, nice head - but the promise didn't hold up. There's an odd smell and taste to this beer that I can't put my finger on, but it reminds me of something from childhood, and not in a good way. Maybe something my mother made me eat on winter mornings to put hairs on my chest (did the trick, whatever it was). There's a cloying sweetness to the beer which is definitely not to my taste, but trying to be impartial, it's not actually a bad beer. I just don't much care for it. About halfway through the glass I'm left with something that has no life it at all. No head, no lacing, no carbonation... just that flavour that I still can't quite figure out.

Hmm. I don't know, first impression, this is nasty. Heavy thick white head on a transparent purple body. Head falls fast, lacing is minimal. Nose is watery, and slightly malty. Boring. I get the doublebock flavors, but this is probably the most boring double bock I have tried. The taste was offensive on first inspection, it hasn't really improved on a warm up. Its looking more and more like this is a drain pour. Nasty is all that comes to mind.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. No dating info but just released anniversary beer so I know it's fresh. It's a deep amber color with slight carb and no lacing. It had an average sized fizzy beige head that quickly settled into a thin collar.

The aroma was barely there. Very weak sweet malt and caramel. The taste was a little better but pretty subdued for a doppelbock. Very sweet with no hop presence. Could have used something to offset the sweet. Really doesn't taste like a doppelbock to me. The mouthfeel had way too much carbonation.

Overall, a really disappointing beer. Don't recommend. One and done for me.

A - Reddish chestnut brown with a big, but short lived light brown head. Almost zero lace, and even a big swirl fails to build the head back up to even a fraction of the way it looked for the first five seconds after pouring.

S - Chocolate cuppy cakes. This has some nutty notes that remind me of those nut-stuffed chocolate things that come in mixed boxes of chocolate. Gooey and nougat-y smelling, with more than a hint of nuts.

T - Similar to the nose, this is all about nuts smothered in chocolate. There is a certain candy bar that this reminds me of, but I can't recall the name! Whatever it is, it had gooey nougat white stuff on the inside and chocolate on the outside. Charleston Chew maybe? Anyhow, some hops make a minor appearance after complete absence from the nose.

M - Medium bodied and nutty with low carbonation and a heavy load of sugar. This one is almost cloying, but some nutty notes and very mild hops barely keep it from falling apart. Alcohol is VERY detectable at 6.7%. Sip slowly, as big mouthfuls really hit that "booze gag reflex."

D - Meh. This is pretty wimpy and simple for a doppelbock, despite the overloaded sugary feel. Pass.

D: OK, but, this is what the Shiner bock should be like. I really expected more for a dopplebock. Not with traditional style at all. No body, no real dark fruit/heavy malt taste. Again, it's more like a bock, than a dopplebock. If it was indeed a bock, it would fit better according to style. It isn't a bad beer at all.
